Benefits of technology

[0042]If using the carburized steel part having excellent low cycle bending fatigue strength of the present invention, it is possible to greatly reduce the size and lighten the weight of automobile-use differential gears and other gears and, as a result, it is possible to improve the fuel economy of automobiles and slash CO2 emissions

Problems solved by technology

However, in each carburized steel part, the low cycle bending fatigue strength does not reach the currently sought level of the low cycle bending fatigue strength.

Abstract

A carburized steel part having excellent low cycle bending fatigue strength which is comprised of a steel material which contains, by mass %, C: 0.1 to 0.6%, Si: 0.01 to 1.5%, Mn: 0.3 to 2.0, P: 0.02% or less, S: 0.001 to 0.15%, N: 0.001 to 0.03%, Al: 0.001 to 0.06%, and O: 0.005% or less and has a balance of substantially iron and unavoidable impurities and which is carburized and quenched, and then tempered, which steel part has a surface hardness of HV550 to HV800 and a core hardness of HV400 to HV500.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a carburized steel part having excellent low cycle bending fatigue strength.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Parts for machine structures, differential gears, transmission gears, toothed carburized shafts, and other gears sometimes break at the tooth bases after low cycle fatigue (fatigue in region of several hundreds to several thousands of cycles) due to sudden starts and sudden stops of the vehicles. In particular, greater improvement of the low cycle fatigue strength is being sought for differential gears and for transmission gears.[0003]In the past, as the steel material for the above steel parts, JIS SCr420, SCM420, and other around C: 0.2% case hardened steel has been used to secure toughness of the core. “Carburizing and quenching” and around 150° C. low temperature tempering are used to form an around C: 0.8% tempered martensite structure on the surface and to improve the high cycle bending fatigue strength and wear resistance.[0004]...
